Chapter 56: Strike to the Face  

No one spoke for a while.

Qin Ran’s voice wasn’t low. Several people around Qiao Sheng heard it and looked at each other. The people passing by also went over to listen.

“What happened? Qin Yu, how do you know?”

“Oh my God, she got locked up!”

“What crime did she commit for her to be locked up?”

Qin Yu was a popular figure in the school. Especially during this period, Qiao Sheng and others were covered by her limelight. Everyone surrounded her.

Being locked in a police station was not a trivial matter.

According to the development of this situation, it would take less than an afternoon for the news to be passed throughout the school.

Qin Yu walked on the right side of Qiao Sheng, closest to the side of the road, and Qiao Sheng had stopped moving the lollipop around in his mouth. He pushed it to the side, looked at Qin Yu, and frowned. “What happened?”

“It’s a criminal case,” said Qin Yu ambiguously. She felt the eyes of the people around her and whispered, “I think she won’t be able to come out for a while. Sigh, stop asking me, I don’t want to talk about it...”

Before she could finish talking, an empty water bottle suddenly hit her.

“Bang—” There was a loud noise, and it slammed into the tree a few steps away and bounced to her feet again.

People who were still gossiping looked in the direction the water bottle came from.

Qin Ran was standing a dozen meters away, with one hand in her pocket. Ignoring everyone, she looked straight ahead and walked forward.

Her eyes were narrowed slightly and her eyebrows furrowed. She had on her familiar nonchalant and cold look.

She frowned. It seemed like the school atmosphere was a bit heavy today and it was also so crowded. However, everyone stayed a meter away from her and no one dared to approach her.

Qiao Sheng looked at her and froze. “Qin Ran?”

Qin Ran answered with a nasal sound and then looked up. “What?”

She still had on her familiar expression. She wore a long coat that hung down naturally, covering most of the right hand, where only a little gauze was exposed.

“Nothing.” Qiao Sheng glanced at Qin Yu sideways, bit his lollipop, and finally smiled. “I heard that you were locked up in the police station and was just preparing to go bail you out.”

He put his hands in his pockets, leaned over slightly, and told Xu Yaoguang not to go to the store.

“Why are you out?” Qin Yu looked at Qin Ran in disbelief.

Due to Qin Ran’s affairs, Ning Qing and the others had discussed for a long time yesterday. They had yet to find a solution and could only wait for someone to give it a try today.

According to the aggressive attitude of the Xu family last night, it had been estimated that Qin Ran would have to be locked up for at least two to three days.

Who knew that within one night, she was already back in school?

Qin Ran put her hand in her pocket and turned away.

Qiao Sheng waved to Xu Yaoguang and immediately followed her.

“Didn’t she say that Qin Ran’s crime got her locked up, and she still had to stay there for a few more days?”

“Yeah, how can someone locked up be here.”

“I...”

After Qin Ran and Qiao Sheng had left, everyone looked at Qin Yu and discussed fervently.

Their tones were strange and doubtful. Qin Yu had been in school for such a long time, and this was the first time she was being doubted. She opened her mouth and smiled reluctantly.

There was some panic in her heart.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Xu Yaoguang looking at her solemnly. In his cold eyes, the light had faded.

Qin Yu subconsciously pinned the hair that had fallen over her face behind her ears and pursed her lips.

Feng family.

Lin Wan had come with Lin Jinxuan.

Mrs. Feng was very welcoming and even asked about Qin Yu.

Upstairs, Feng Loucheng came down with his mobile phone.

Lin Wan, who had been sitting on the couch, stood up immediately with Lin Jinxuan.

Recently, everyone who knew anything knew that Feng Loucheng was about to be promoted. However, there was no specific news as to what position.

Water to a fish was as Mrs. Feng to Lin Wan.

But in the face of Feng Loucheng, she was somewhat restrained. If it was not because Lin Jinxuan was familiar with Feng Ci, they wouldn’t have been able to see Feng Loucheng.

“Mayor Feng.” Lin Wan stood up. Feng Loucheng’s eyes were almost inconceivable, and even she was very restrained.

Lin Jinxuan also greeted him.

Feng Loucheng glanced at the two of them with the same expression on his face. He let Mrs. Feng and Feng Ci entertain the two and smiled. “I have a business matter to attend to, so I will take my leave.”

“Yes, please attend to your business,” Lin Wan said quickly.

Of course, the mayor of a city was busy. How would she dare let Feng Loucheng entertain them?

It was already unexpected for Lin Wan to see him today.

Usually, they could only see him on the TV news or in reports.

However, this Feng Loucheng was truly not very sociable.

Feng Loucheng nodded, held his cell phone to his ear, and strode out.

Far away, Lin Wan and Lin Jinxuan faintly heard the word “Ms. Qin”.

Lin Wan paused, thinking about which big surname in Yun Cheng had the word “Qin”. After thinking for a long time, she still had no clue, so she regained her senses and talked to Mrs. Feng.

They didn’t stay long before going out.

Feng Loucheng didn’t go to his office.

Instead, he parked his car in front of a private kitchen.

Although his license plate number was assigned and was very special, because of his low-key behavior on a normal basis, few people in Yun Cheng knew his license plate.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, a taxi stopped at the door, and a girl in a plaid thin shirt came down from the back door.

The other person’s earphones were plugged into her ears. She was looking down, absentminded and indifferent.

On the other hand, Feng Loucheng looked solemn and opened the car door to walk over.

“Ms. Qin.” He spoke first, with a steady and serious tone. Upon closer inspection, it was even a little respectful.

As if he didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with calling a girl who was more than 20 years younger than him “Ms. Qin”.

“Uncle Feng.” Qin Ran took off her earphones and squinted her eyes. She saw Feng Loucheng clearly and nodded slightly. “Just call me by my name.”

Feng Loucheng smiled but did not answer.

Qin Ran was obviously used to it. She said nothing and turned to walk in first. “Let’s go inside to talk.”

Feng Loucheng walked half a step behind her and helped her open the door.

Not far from the opposite side, there was a very sharp braking sound.

The black BMW stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Wan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had been putting on lipstick when the car stopped. Her lipstick almost bumped against her nose.

Lin Jinxuan shook his head and looked at the opposite side. “Aunt, isn’t that person Qin Ran?”
